It reads a wide character from stdin and returns it. If the end of stream is reached, or if ferror(stdin) becomes true, it returns WEOF. If a wide-character conversion error occurs, it sets errno to EILSEQ and returns WEOF. For a nonlocking counterpart, see unlocked_stdio(3). RETURN VALUE The getwchar() function returns the next wide-character from standard input, or WEOF. ATTRIBUTES For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see at- tributes(7). +--------------------------------------------+---------------+---------+ |Interface | Attribute | Value | +--------------------------------------------+---------------+---------+ |getwchar() | Thread safety | MT-Safe | +--------------------------------------------+---------------+---------+ STANDARDS C11, POSIX.1-2008. HISTORY C99, POSIX.1-2001. NOTES The behavior of getwchar() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the cur- rent locale. It is reasonable to expect that getwchar() will actually read a multi- byte sequence from standard input and then convert it to a wide charac- ter.
